I think that's it. And I have used it all, except the neck gaiter and headband. But the weather is getting cooler so they may be employed soon too.
The only thing I think I'd change would be the cycling shorts. I'd probably bring 2 pair rather than 3, and I'd have a pair of basketball shorts or something similar instead of the 3rd pair of cycling shorts.
For off-the-bike, we bring nylon hiking shorts, nylon long-sleeve shirts, and thin poly hiking T-shirts. Nancy also has a poly dress from Title 9 that looks great even after a week in a compression sack, a pair of thin black flats, and thin black tights for dressing for dinner. We've found we can get by with thin poly liners inside our short-finger gloves instead of carrying long-fingers. Our big splurge in footwear is to carry Gore-Tex trail runners. Great in the rain on cobblestones. We crush them with compression straps for in the pannier.
